NSA: Car failed to stop before police opened fire

Officers opened fire after two men dressed as women refused to stop a stolen vehicle Monday at the National Security Agency gate at Fort Meade and then smashed into a police vehicle blocking the road, officials said.

Officers open fire after two men dressed as women refuse to stop a stolen car at the National Security Agency gate at Fort Meade and then smashed into a police vehicle blocking the road, officials said.

The incident happened at the NSA entrance to Fort Meade. Officials close to the case told 11 News that the suspects were dressed as women and that there were plenty of chances for the incident to end nonviolently.

The FBI said the men were dressed as women but not in an attempt to disguise themselves from authorities.

The NSA released a statement Monday afternoon saying the driver of the sport utility vehicle, Hall, disobeyed instructions from an NSA police officer and failed to stop shortly before 9 a.m. Authorities deployed barriers at the gate as the SUV accelerated toward an NSA police vehicle blocking the road.

NSA police fired at the SUV, which crashed into the NSA police vehicle.

Hall was pronounced dead at the scene. A cause of death was not immediately determined. According to court records, Hall has a criminal history in Baltimore City. He was found guilty of robbery in August 2013.

The passenger in the SUV was taken to a hospital.

One NSA police officer was injured and was taken to a hospital. He has since been released.

The FBI, which is leading the investigation, released a statement Monday, saying: "FBI Baltimore is investigating a shooting incident which occurred this morning at a gate at the National Security Agency at Fort Meade just off (Route) 295 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The shooting scene is contained and we do not believe it is related to terrorism. We are investigating with NSA Police and other law enforcement agencies. Our Evidence Response Team is processing the crime scene, and FBI agents are doing joint interviews with witnesses. We are working with the US Attorney's Office in Maryland to determine if federal charges are warranted. We have no further information at this time to release."

Col. Brian Foley, Fort Meade garrison commander, also released a statement Monday, saying: "The incident has been contained and is under investigation. The residents, service members and civilian employees on the installation are safe. We continue to remain vigilant at all of our access control points."

On Tuesday, the FBI said investigators are conducting interviews, following leads and collecting evidence as part of the ongoing investigation.

Police: SUV stolen from Elkridge motel

NBC News reported that a search of the vehicle, a stolen Ford Escape registered in Maryland, turned up a gun and some drugs. Howard County police told 11 News on Monday that the vehicle was stolen Monday morning from a hotel off Route 1 in Jessup.

On Tuesday, Howard County police released more information about the SUV, saying it was reported stolen from the Terrace Motel in the 6200 block of Washington Boulevard in Elkridge around 8:30 a.m.

Howard County police said the SUV's owner, a 60-year-old Baltimore man, told police he had picked up two men who were dressed as women and had driven them to the motel, where he checked in around 7:30 a.m. After an hour, the men left the room and took the victim's SUV.

HE LIVES OR HIS NAME, BUT AS SOON AS WE GET THAT INFORMATION WE WILL UPDATE YOU. REPORTING LIVE FROM SKY TEAM 11, I'M CAPTAIN ROY TAYLOR. DONNA: THANK YOU, ROY. NOW TO THE LATEST ON THE NSA SHOOTING INVESTIGATION. WE NOW KNOW THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON KILLED AT A SECURITY GATE TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY AT FORT MEADE. STAN: TWO DO PEOPLE WERE SHOT. 11 NEWS I-TEAM REPORTER BARRY SIMMS IS LIVE IN BALTIMORE'S CHARLES VILLAGE. BARRY, THIS IS WHERE THE MAN WHO WAS KILLED LIVED. IS THAT RIGHT? BARRY: THAT IS RIGHT. THIS IS WHERE RICKY HALL LIVED. HALL WAS TRANSGENDER. WE TALKED TO FRIENDS. TO DO PEOPLE WERE SHOT. ONE REMAINS IN THE HOSPITAL. THE OTHER WAS KILLED. BOTH MEN WERE DRESSED AS WOMEN, INVESTIGATORS SAY. PEOPLE IN THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY WHO KNEW RICKY HALL AS MAIA CAME TO THE BUILDING WHERE HE LIVED IN NORTH BALTIMORE. IT IS OVERWHELMING TO ME. IT IS AN EYE-OPENER FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYBODY. BEING IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT, NOT TO SAY ANYBODY COULD STEAL A CAR. I DO NOT KNOW ALL OF THE DETAILS, BUT WE COULD BE IN A BAD SITUATION OR NOT A GOOD HEADSPACE. I AM SURE THAT THESE PEOPLE LEFT THIS HOUSE NOT KNOWING THEY WOULD NOT COME HOME. BARRY: SHE KNEW HALL FOR EIGHT MONTHS. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON. HE WOULD BE TALKING OUT OF HIS HEAD. HE WOULD TRAVEL FROM THIS ABANDONED HOUSE TO A HIGH-RISE DOWN THE STREET AND BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH. BARRY: HALL IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL MONDAY MORNING. INVESTIGATORS DO NOT BELIEVE THE INCIDENT WAS RELATED TO TERRORISM. HOWARD COUNTY POLICE SAY THE VEHICLE WAS STOLEN FROM THE 6200 BLOCK OF WASHINGTON BOULEVARD IN OAK RIDGE. HE PICKED UP TWO MEN DRESSED AS WOMEN AND DROVE THEM TO THE HOWARD COUNTY HOTEL. SHE SAW HALL ABOUT 24 HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. IT IS TERRIBLE SHE LOST HER LIFE AND THE CUP SAID TO BE INVOLVED AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS DOES NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST ANOTHER TRAGEDY WE HEAR ABOUT AND IT IS UNFORTUNATE. BARRY: A STATE POLICE OFFICER WAS INJURED IN THE SITUATION AND TAKEN TO THE AREA HOSPITAL, TREATED, AND RELEASED.

Members of the transgender community who knew Hall as Mya went to what they call "The Bando" on Tuesday. It's an abandoned apartment building where Hall lived as a transgender person in the 2200 block of North Charles Street in Baltimore.

Jamia Leonard said she has known Hall for about eight months.

"It's overwhelming to me. It's an eye-opener, first of all, because that could have been anybody being in a situation like that, not to say that just anybody would steal a car, but we could be in a bad situation and not in a good head-space," Leonard said. "I'm sure that they didn't leave their house knowing that they wouldn't come home that day or that that would be the end."

Leonard said she saw Hall about 12 hours before the incident at the NSA.

"In the last couple of days, I knew something was wrong. I didn't know exactly what was going on but I could hear him talking out of his head. He would travel from this abandoned house to another high-rise right down the street back and forth, and back and forth," Leonard said. "It's terrible that she lost her life, it's terrible that the cops had to be involved. At the end of the day, this doesn't solve anything, it's just another tragedy and it's unfortunate."

Fort Meade community alarmed

Fort Meade is the headquarters for the NSA and other intelligence and cybersecurity agencies. The 8-square-mile campus is also home to 10,000 military personnel, some of their family members and civilians.

The attempted unauthorized intrusion of one of the NSA gates and subsequent shooting has many rattled.

"It's weird that you never know if it is going to be Joe Schmoe or if it is actually going to be somebody that's working there or just somebody that's angry at whatever the government is doing. That's the confusing thing," said Angie Pietrusza, of Anne Arundel County.

More than 8,000 contractors work on the post. They know firsthand how tight security is on a daily basis.

"We have to go through checkpoints all the time. We have a construction vehicle pass so we can go through most of the gates, but then if it is a commercial vehicle, we have to go through a checkpoint where they have dogs sniffing," said Tommy Benton, a contractor from North Carolina.

The high school on campus immediately put out an alert to faculty and staff that an incident had occurred. School was in session to make up for a snow day.

"It's a little scary, I think, that sometimes we forget that we are on a military base and there are outside threats," said Xiomara Patel, who works at Meade Senior High School.

Traffic was backed up for miles on nearby Route 295 as NSA police secured a perimeter around the scene.

A RANGE OF EMOTIONS OVER TRAFFIC CONGESTION. A DEADLY SHOOTING AT THE NSA HEADQUARTERS IN FORT MEADE. AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT SAID WHY TWO MEN TRIED TO ENTER THE CAMPUS WITHOUT PERMISSION. IT ENDED WITH ONE SUSPECT DEAD AND ANOTHER INJURED. GEORGE HAS MORE DETAILS. GEORGE: THE FBI IS LEADING THIS INVESTIGATION. IT PUBLICLY STILL HAS A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAY THE DRIVER OF THE DARK-COLORED SUV AT THE CENTER OF YOUR SCREEN DROVE UP TO THE HEAVILY GUARDED GATE TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY AND DISOBEYED COMMANDS FROM POLICE OFFICERS WHO TRIED TO DIRECT THE SUV TO LEAVE. THAT IS WHEN OFFICIALS SAY THE SUV KEPT ACCELERATING, BLOCKING THE ROAD, AND THAT IS WHEN OFFICERS OPENED FIRE. AT SOME POINT THE SUV AND THE POLICE VEHICLE COLLIDED. SOURCES SAY THE MEN INSIDE WERE DRESSED AS WOMEN WITH WIGS ON. COCAINE AND A HANDGUN WERE FOUND. THIS MAN WAS IN THE AREA AT THE TIME AND WITNESSED SOMETHING ODD RIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT. HE PULLS OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SOME GUY COMES OUT OF THE BUSHES. IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD A SKIRT ON. THE MEN IN THE SUV WERE SCREAMING LOUD AS THEY SPED TO THE SECURITY GATE. AUTHORITIES SAY ONE OF THE MEN DIED DURING THE ALTERCATION. THE OTHER WAS INJURED AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. POLICE CONFIRMED THE SUV WAS STOLEN SOMETIME MONDAY MORNING FROM ONE OF THE HOTELS. THE FBI DOES NOT THINK THIS IS RELATED TO TERRORISM. SO FAR THE IDENTITIES OF THE MEN AND THE SUV AND THE POLICE OFFICER HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED. THANK YOU. FORT MEADE IS THE HOME OF THE NSA, BUT OTHER AGENCIES ARE ALSO BASED THERE. IT SITS ON AN EIGHT SQUARE MILE CAMPUS AND HOUSES 10,000 PERSONNEL AND CIVILIANS.

Incident took place as US, other world powers met with Iran to negotiate nuclear deal

An Iranian military observation aircraft flew within 50 yards of an armed U.S. Navy helicopter over the Persian Gulf this month, sparking concern that top Iranian commanders might not be in full control of local forces, CNN has learned.

The incident, which has not been publicly disclosed, troubled U.S. military officials because the unsafe maneuver could have triggered a serious incident.

It also surprised U.S. commanders because in recent months Iranian forces have conducted exercises and operations in the region in a professional manner, one U.S. military official told CNN.

"We think this might have been locally ordered," the official said.

The incident took place as the U.S. and other world powers meet with Iran in Switzerland to negotiate a deal limiting Tehran's nuclear program. At the same time, Iran has been active in supporting proxies in several hotspots in the Persian Gulf and neighboring regions.

The Navy MH-60R armed helicopter was flying from the deck of the USS Carl Vinson on a routine patrol in international airspace, the official said.

An unarmed Iranian observation Y-12 aircraft approached. The Iranian aircraft made two passes at the helicopter, coming within 50 yards, before the helicopter moved off, according to the official.

The official said the helicopter deliberately broke off and flew away in a 'predictable' manner so the Iranians could not misinterpret any U.S. intentions.

The Navy helicopter was in radio contact with the ship during the encounter, but there was no contact between the two aircraft and no shots were fired.

The Navy crew took photos of the incident but the military is not releasing them.

The U.S. administration is considering a potential demarche protest against Iran, the official said.

CNN has reached out to Iranian officials but has not received a response.

This type of Iranian observation aircraft generally operates over the Gulf several times a month. But after the recent incident, U.S. naval intelligence did not see it again for two weeks, leading to the conclusion that the incident may have been ordered by a local commander who was then reprimanded by higher-ups.

The Pentagon has noted for the last several years that most encounters with the Iranian military at sea or in air are conducted professionally, but that some missions run by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps forces have been too aggressive against U.S. forces in the area.

The U.S. military's concern has been that one of these incidents could escalate into a military encounter.

This incident "might have been buffoonery" the official said, but there is always a risk from such actions.

The incident comes as the Navy patrols the Gulf of Aden to watch for Iranian ships the U.S. believes are trying to bring weapons to resupply the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Navy would share such intelligence with Saudi Arabia, a second U.S. official told CNN.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley took a major shot at Hillary Clinton on Sunday, saying the country needs a "new perspective" and "new leadership" in the 2016 election. "Let's be honest here," O'Malley said. "The presidency of the United States is not some crown to be passed between two families."

O'Malley, a Democrat who is considering running for president in 2016, attended the "Politics and Eggs" forum in Bedford, New Hampshire, on Tuesday. The forum gives local business leaders a chance to hear from potential presidential candidates.

O'Malley stopped short of picking on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during his stop in New Hampshire.

He made news on Sunday by taking a verbal shot and both Clinton and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. On a Sunday talk show, O'Malley said, "The presidency of the United States is not some crown to be passed between two families."

O'Malley knows something about the power of political families. The woman he married, Katie O'Malley, is part of the Curran family, which has included several members of the Baltimore City Council. The family patriarch, Joe Curran, was the state's long-time attorney general and a man instrumental in getting O'Malley started in his political career.

On Tuesday, he stepped back and made no mention of Clinton at all.

O'Malley stuck to his script of talking about middle-class issues, immigration reform and managing with programs like CitiStat. He did comment on the new and controversial religious freedom law signed by Indiana Republican Gov. Mike Pence that critics said allows discrimination against gays and lesbians.

"The wave of anti-gay, anti-lesbian legislation that is sweeping across many states is reprehensible and counter to everything we stand for as a people. It is wrong," O'Malley said.

O'Malley was also scheduled to attend the New Hampshire Young Democrats Social Hour in Nashua, New Hampshire.

O'Malley, who finished his second term as Maryland's governor in January, says he plans to announce a decision on seeking the presidency this spring.

The defense case lasted less than two days, while the prosecution presented more than 90 witnesses over the course of a month.

Federal prosecutors rested their case Monday with grisly testimony about how the bomb Dzhokhar Tsarnaev placed near the marathon's finish line tore through the bodies of 8-year-old Martin Richard and Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old grad student.

The short presentation in the sensational trial wasn't surprising, given that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's attorney, Judy Clarke, acknowledged during opening statements that "it was him," referring to her client's culpability.

Testimony ended with an FBI fingerprint investigator who talked about numerous pieces of evidence with Tamerlan's fingerprints and not Dzhokhar's.

Earlier, a computer expert testified about computer searches on Tamerlan's computer -- including gun stores, transmitters, fireworks firing system, detonator and Boston Marathon -- in the weeks before the bombing. Similar searches were not found on Dzhokhar's computer.

Jurors first will be asked to determine whether Tsarnaev is guilty of 30 counts. Because 17 of those counts carry the death penalty as a possible punishment, a second phase of the trial will follow if the jury convicts him.

In the penalty phase, jurors will be asked to weigh aggravating factors, such as the heinousness of the crime, versus mitigating factors, such as Tsarnaev's family history and his youth. He was 19 at the time of the bombings.

Defense strategy focuses on sibling's influence

The defense, which began calling witnesses Monday afternoon, has argued that Tsarnaev, known to friends as Jahar, fell under the sway of his more extremist older brother after their parents moved back to Russia. Jahar Tsarnaev was flunking out of the University of Massachusetts and had lost his financial aid at the time of the bombings.

Prosecutors William Weinreb, Aloke Chakravarty, Nadine Pellegrini and Steve Mellin presented witnesses who told the story of Tsarnaev's alleged scheme with Tamerlan to build and detonate pressure cooker bombs as an act of jihad. The brothers, Muslims of Chechen descent, allegedly sought to kill Americans at an iconic public event to retaliate against U.S. policies they believed harmed and oppressed Muslims abroad.

Prosecutors delved into Tsarnaev's text messages and Twitter posts and showed jurors militant material found in his laptop, phone and iPod. They included writings available online from top leaders of al Qaeda.

They used data mined from a GPS device and store receipts to trace the purchase of the pressure cookers, BBs and ammunition. Jurors saw photos of pressure cooker parts, fuses, Christmas lights and other bombmaking materials found in the Tsarnaev family's Cambridge apartment, where Tamerlan lived with his wife and child.

And they showed security surveillance videos of the brothers in the crowd near the finish line: In one, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev can be seen blending in with the crowd behind the Richard family for four minutes. He appears to slide a backpack off his shoulder near a tree and walk off, glancing over his shoulder. He broke into a run as the bomb went off.

After the surveillance photos were released to the public three days after the bombing, the brothers allegedly embarked on a desperate -- and deadly -- attempt to escape.

Jurors heard from carjacking victim Dun Meng and saw the brothers on convenience store surveillance video shortly before Meng's escape. He can be seen jumping out of his leased Mercedes SUV at a gas pump and running across the screen as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev casually strolls through the store, picking up an armload of snacks.

Prosecutors also used ballistic evidence to link the brothers to the shooting of a campus cop at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a gunbattle with police in Watertown.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died as a result of that gunbattle. The defendant, allegedly attempting to run down police, instead ran over his brother in the stolen Mercedes.

Jurors also viewed a boat in which Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sought refuge during the ensuing manhunt, which put Boston under a "shelter in place" lockdown.

He used a pencil to scrawl what prosecutors called his "manifesto" on the sides of the boat. It was pocked with bullet holes and streaked with blood.

He wrote he was jealous that his brother had achieved paradise by dying like a holy warrior in the gunbattle with police. He asked God to make him a martyr, too.

Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty, although his attorneys do not dispute that he participated in the bombings. Clarke asked jurors in her opening statement to keep their minds open to an alternative explanation.

The defense began its case with two witnesses called to offer scenarios that differ from the version of events offered by FBI witnesses. One focused on the the defendant's Twitter posts a year before the marathon, including mundane matters such as whether he should sleep in or get breakfast.

Another challenged the way the FBI used GPS points and store receipts to document the purchase of pressure cookers, BBs and ammunition -- allegedly by Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
